Beat Arkansas——
By RAY HALBROOK
Seeking its second victory in
three starts this fall, the Aggie
cross country team takes on the
Arkansas University harriers Sat
urday afternoon at 3 p.m. on the
A&M cross country course.
The Maroon and White harriers
will be in their best shape of the
season and are raring to go ^gainst
what is supposedly their toughest
obstacle in the path towards a
third consecutive SWC champion
ship.
Colonel Andy Anderson and Ray
Putnam will ; probably field the
same team that whipped Texas
two weeks ago in Austin, 19-42.
Included on the team are John
Garmany, Julian Herring, Mar
shall Lazarine, Charlie Gabriel,
Charles Hudgins, Jim McMahon,
and Alex Ortiz. The first five of
the seven to finish will score for
the team.
Herring in Shape
With Herring rounding in to
shape as evidenced by his. strong
third place against TU, and with
Garmany still leading the way, the
Aggies could well go the I'est of
the way undefeated and take the

Ho,
conference crown again with only
one loss, the season opener to
Oklahoma University.
Sophs Lazarine and Hudgins con
tinue to make things look bright
by staying hot on the heels of the
leaders along with Gabriel.
Arkansas, however, boasts a pow
erful team this year led by James
Brown and James West, who were
one-two in the two-mile at last
May’s SWC track meet.
They are also bolstered by Oliv
er Gatchell and Tom Hardin who
took the third and fourth spots of
the mile run in the same meet.
These four with other squadsmen
offer a definite threat to A&M’s
championship hopes.
The Razorbacks were second in
the conference cross country meet
last fall and Brown was a close
third in the event.
Should the Aggies hurdle this
barrier, they should coast in for
their third championship 1 .

Post-game comment of VMI
coach Tom Nugent was “I’ve never
seen such power and class in block
ing as Texas A&M showed against
us tonight.” Nugent’s 1949 VMI
team lost to Army 40-14.

Bruisin’ Bob Third
Team All-America
By FRANK N. MANITZAS
Battalion Sports Editor
Midseason is over, and now, the final and crucial games
of the Southwest Conference remain to be played.
Throughout the nation, mid-season All-America teams
are being picked, and it is interesting to note
that on the majority of the pickings, three
members of the SWC are named to the top
three teams.
Bruisin’ Bob Smith was placed on the
third team along with other backfield ma
terial—Don Heinrich of Washington Univer
sity, Dick Kazmaier of Princeton, and Ever
ett Grandelius of Michigan State.
On the first string, Bud McFadin of
TU is a starting guard with SMU’s Kyle
Rote safely holding down a back position.
Along with Rote on the first string back-
field are Vic Janowicz of Ohio State, Hugh
McElhenny of Washington, and Leon Heath of the OU Soon-
ers. Also on the first, string was Dan Foldberg of Army
at the end position. Many may remember when Foldberg
played for the Aggies.
As it stands, the individuals of the teams were picked
on performances displayed thus far this season, and undoubt
edly, the teams will change by the end of the season.
On the teams chosen by Athletic Publications, the first
string line weighed 209 pounds while the others followed at
207 and 209. The backfield weight, in order of teams, was
192, 186, and 184 pounds.
From the local league race this week; the top game of
the nation has been picked, and, of course, it is a Siellout.
The game in comment is the SMUiTU tilt with the winner,
we believe, being the Orange and White.
A&M seems to be the favorite over the Porkers, although
the Cadets were upset last week by the Baylor Bears. TCU
is picked over the just mentioned Bruins and Rice for an
easy victory over Texas Tech.
A&M to Rebound From Last Week, 21-19
When the Aggie team gets on the go,
The Arkansas Hogs will be lucky to show.
Manitzas
Although the odd makers are
picking the Cadets over the Porkers
by a fair margin of seven markers,
we think it will be much closer.
Head Football Coach Harry
Stiteler once said that if the team
could cure its mistakes, it could
beat anyone. After what has hap
pened recently, we believe that it
is time for the Cadets to have
cured their mistakes, and he ready
to go.
Arkansas has a fast, heavy team
that can make a game of it against
anyone. Even though the Porkers
have been a disappointment drop
ping four of their five major bat-
Texas to Upset Fa
ties, they are improving with every
game and this may be the one they
have been waiting for.
An inconsistent offense has not
ben able to counterbalance and
help the two big 214 pound lines
which the Porkers have; hence,
they have a fine team but it has
proved ineffective up to date.
' For the Aggies, up to last week
they had averaged 40 points for
game and it seems more than like
ly that they will again climb into
the winner’s circle come Saturday,
with the aid of Darrow Hooper’s
consistent PAT boots, 21-19.
wred Ponies, 28-20
Blair Cherry will meet Rusty Russell;
Watch TU’s Cherry with plenty of muscle.
Picking the Longhorns over the
Mustangs of Southern Methodist,
the Associated Press’ favorite as
the No. 1 team in the nation, was
rather rough for us to do, being
Aggies, but it looks as if the Steers
may come through after three long
winless years.
The last time that TU defeated
SMU was in 1946 when the Orange
and White ran away with the
fame, 19-3. The following year
saw the Austinites in the favored
role as SWC champs, and when the
occasion arose the Mustangs came
through, knocking off the same,
14-13, 21-6, but Rice won the con
ference title.

Stout Defense Pays Off
New York, Nov. 2--<A 5 )—In these
days of wide-open, wild-eyed offen
sive football the nation’s college
coaches might find it interesting
to learn that a stout defense pays
off, too.
There remain nine major unde
feated college teams. Six of them
are listed among the country’s nine
tightest defensive units in figures
released today by the National
Collegiate Athletic Bureau. It
would appear to be more than a
coincidence.
The six all-victorious elevens
which appear among the leaders in
“total defense” are, in the order
of their defensive excellence,
Wyoming, Oklahoma, Miami (Fla.),
Kentucky, Army and Loyola of
Los Angeles.
Only SMU, Princeton and Cali
fornia of the undefeated clan have
not distinguished themselves by
their rockbound defenses.
Wyoming’s Cowboys climbed to
the top in the “total” department
last Saturday when they limited
New Mexico to 68 yards. The
Waddies have yielded an average
